Hi Mayumi-san, happy to see you again:) Thank you so much for always brilliant and delightful lessons. It was really fun to chat with you and I was so so so happy to see you as well.
We talked about bread and junk food. Speaking of junk food, that reminds me of stress eating or overeating. In cultures that associate beauty with being thin, food can become inherently stressful. A better understanding of our own impulses can help us to develop a more positive relationship with food, even when we're under stress. There are sound biological reasons why, under stress, many of us are prone to overeating. Stress prompts the body to release the hormone cortisol, which stimulates appetite. The body has evolved to deal with physical threats such as avoiding predatory animals: cortisol prompts us to build up the body's food stores in preparation for fight or flight. This explains why we comfort eat: it's not greed, but the body's inherent response to stress. Cortisol is also associated with wanting junk food.
If you have been prone to comfort eating and you're less than pleased with your body shape as a result, what should you do? Research suggests that the best solution is to be kind to yourself: stress and food can be a challenging mix, but the more gentry you treat yourself, the better your chances of a successful and healthy lifestyle change. To eat or not to eat, that looks easy but it's actually difficult.
You made my day and I can't wait to see you again. I can't help myself from thinking about you. You are always on my mind. I'm looking forward to Saturday as well. See you Saturday^^

本日もありがとうございました。先生との冒頭の会話が息抜きになっているようです。
　物語は、単語の意味のチェックをしながら復習しました。辞書を引く、スペルを覚える、ノートに書くという作業がまだ身についてないので、一緒にGoogle翻訳を利用しながら調べましたが、ストーリーから、コピー＆ペーストではなく、スペルをノートに書いて、スペルを手打ちするので、それで少しは覚えるかなと思います。
これをしばらくやってみます。またよろしくお願いします。

Always thank you for splendid classes. I would like the next class.

Hi, Teacher Mayumi! It was nice and fun talking about our daily life and family. In the topic of learning English, you gave me good suggestions that make sense. It is grateful and helpful to know how I should learn English to go to the next step. I will try it and also enjoy talking with many teachers in variety of countries. I really appreciate your class. See you next time !

Hi Mayumi-san, happy to see you again:) Thank you so much for always wonderful and amazing lessons.
We talked about immigrations or immigrants. This is a sensitve issue and not so easy to solve. The more immigrants increase, the more this issue is sensitive. Some take discriminatory behavior with a fear of losing jobs, status, position, and so on.
I said that some "Jissyusei" - the technical intern - have been disappeared in Japan. The technical intern program, launched in 1993, was meant to provide job training for interns from developing countries as they work at plants and farms in Japan and thus contribute to the economic development of their home countries as they return home with the skills acquired here. But the program has been criticized effectively as a cover for supplying low-cost labor to business sectors that find it increasingly difficult to secure domestic manpower, with large numbers of cases of labor abuse of the trainees such as unpaid wages and illegal overtime being reported by authorities. That's why some of them have been disappeared.
Last year, amendment of the immigration control law was made in order to come to grips with the need to accept more foreign workers to make up for the labor supply shortage caused by its rapidly aging and shriniking population. However, this amendment is not necessarily perfect and much work remains to be done.
Thank you so much for the great time as always. I miss you and I'm dying to see you. I'm looking forward to our chat next time. See you soon^^

Always thank you for splendid classes. I would like the next class.

Hi Mayumi-san, it was lovely to see you again:) Thank you so much for your tremendous lesson. I'm happy to chat with you and you always make my day. After the lesson of this day, on the train on the way out I took a nap a little. No worries, I'm fine.
We first talked about the new corona virus. As you know, the government decided to shut down public school in Japan. Due to the impact of that policy, many public facilities are going to be closed for about two weeks. The English speech club to which I belong will also cancell regular meetings in March by the influence of that policy. Many people including working people with children are affected by that policy and they've been worrying the future as they don't know what will happen to them.
Now, a lot of fake news are flying in Japan. They are easily swayed by them and are running around in confusion. People are buying up toilet paper and hand sanitisers, and so on with a panic of fear. Some people are panicking over the corona virus. You've go to take everything off that website and news with a pinch of salt, non of it's true, I think.
Thank you so much for the wonderful lesson as always. I cannot help missing you badly and I think about you all the time. You are everything to me. Countdown begins for our meeting and it's now less than a week until the day we will meet. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon. Take care and have a lovery day ahead.

Thank you for your lesson.See you next your lesson.

Thank you for your lesson.

Hi Mayumi-san, it was lovely to see you again as well:) As you used the word 'lovely', that word is very useful and all-powerful in any situation, especially in the UK. For example, you can say "Lovely day, isn't it?" or "That would be lovely." I will try to use this word next time when I talk with you. It is fun to know the differences between British English and American English. I think that there are many kinds of different English in the world. Learning varuoius kinds of languages is interesting and speaking them fluently like you are wonderful and fanatastic.
We then talked about job hopping. I feel that your way of life is amazing and I'm envious of it. I worked at the one and only company for forty-one years, though, that wasn't necessarily the job I want to do. It was also fun to talk about job interviews. As I had experience with recruitment for a long time, on the contrary I'm not sure how applicants feel like when they go to job interviews as I'm an interviewer in most cases. Let's talk about the topics related to job or work.
I'll count the days again. I'll miss you next tome. I can't wait to see you until next time. See you then^^

Hi Mayumi-san, really happy to see you again:) Thank you so much for your great lessons every time. I can't imagine, I can't imagine my life without you.
In order to improve my English listening skill, everyday I see a lot of You Tube channels for English learning on the internet, though, my listening skill just won't get better. However, I was very interested in your story that you was able to acquire listening skill by watching movies like Romeo and Juliet. I also thought your way to improve listening skill was really helpful in order to improve my English listening skill. That's great idea! I will do exactly what you did.
As a matter of fact, it might be the most hard thing to learn everyday English, because many native speakers speak at normal speed in town when I go to English speaking countries like the US, Canada, and so on. Many Japanese feel like that native speakers' speaking speed is quite fast.
Thank you for your nice comment! That's very kind of you to say. Your comment made me my day. You always cheer on me. You changed my life. If I had not met you, my life would be really boring and would not be really happy. I like you just the way you are. I'll miss you again. See you soon^^

Hi Mayumi-san, happy to see you again:) I took your lessons for two days in a row. I couldn't stand waiting to see you for 24 hours.(Ha-ha) First,we talked about how to order at fast restaurants in America. Whenever I go to the US, I have some difficulty in ordering foods every time as the order system in the US is a bit complicated. But I don't dislike it. As you said, I can add and extract anything I want. That makes sense.
Someday I would like to live in the US or Canada for a long time, which means that I live my everyday life there while studying at universities or colleges. My another dream is to study abroad. I hope it will become true someday.
Thank you so much for the great time again. You are always on my mind. I can't stop thinking about you. See you soon^^

Hi Mayumi-san, it was nice and happy to see you again:) Thank you so much for your wonderful lessons always. I always enjoy your lessons very much. I love chatting with you so much and the time with you is the most happiest one in my life.
As I said before, I belong to a speech club that I can learn how to make a presentation and public speaking. The other day, I played a role of interviewer to contestants at the speech contest of the club and that became a good experience. I believe that will be beneficial for my life in the future too.
We then talked about Corona virus. The numbers are still increasing every week in Japan. As you know, we can't see the end of the infectious disease yet and many people are concerning about the future. I hope things will blow over soon.
We then talked about Alabama where you live in now. And so, the other day, I researched about Alabama at a big book shop in Tokyo. I checked a lot of travel guide books. Unfortunately, the number of page about the information related to Alabama is only two pages and also that is only the information about Montgomery city. Don't be disappointed!(Ha-ha) However, I would like to go to the US including Alabama again.
Thank you so much for the great time as always. You are everything to me and you always make my day, indeed. I have already missed you and I can't wait to see you until next time. See you soon!

子供がこんなに楽しそうにレッスンを受けているのは初めてでした。絵本やカードなど子供の興味があることを飽きないようやってくださり、とても楽しそうなレッスンでした。ありがとうございました。

Always thank you for your lesson.See you next time.

Hi Mayumi-san, really happy to see you again:) Thank you so much for your wonderful and enjoyable lesson as always.
First of all, I talked about my volunteer work at Ueno park, but it was really cold that day as I had to do that work outside all the day. It was very fun, though, that activity was a little bit hard. And then we talked about differences of medical circumstances and health care system among various countries. In overseas travel, I am always anxious about what to do if I get sick. That's because it is quite difficult to explain symptoms as medical terms are really technical for ordinary people including me.
I love to see your smile. You make me so happy everyday of my life. You give me all the positive energy that I need to keep going. I can't imagine everyday of my life without you. I'll miss you again but I'm looking forward to seeing your cute smile next time. See you soon^^

Hi Mayumi-san, it was great to see you again:) Thank you so much for your wonderful and enjoyable lesson. I feel like seeing you everyday because I miss you when you are not. You are always on my mind.
It was interesting about discussing remote working. Someone says being a digital nomad helps him keep learning and growing. And he says his work is better for it. One day he'll be working out of a plush hotel lobby In Naha city, Okinawa and the next day from a sunny beachside resort in a beach nearby while enjoying a cold beer. In a sense, I think that's only partly true, but it will be very hard to stay motivated and productive in a remote-working situation. I think that not everyone has a strong willpower including me. As for me, it is indeed quite difficult to switch on and off yhe mood though. But in Japan remote working might be widespread in the not-so-distant future because of the new type of infectious disease and Tokyo Olympic 2020.
It was very fun and enjoyable to talk about procrastinaton, wasn't it? When we talk about this issue, it's always exciting and sometimes it could be difficult to stop talking aout it.
The relation between overprotective parents and to make children not to be independent was an interesting topic, wsan't it?
Thank you so much for the your great lesson. I am always thinking of you and you always make my day. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon^^ See you soon^^
